Partnership for Sustainable Development Goals in Ukraine

We are a global team led in Ukraine by Nataliya Datchenko of the Ukrainian Social Investment Fund and in the U.S. by Sergiy Shtukarin of the Arizona State University’s McCain Institute for International Leadership.

Our aim is to design a mechanism for mentoring Ukraine's local communities in achieving SDGs, facilitating the implementation of pilot projects and helping communities fundraise, transfer knowledge and scale successful practices.

We strive for innovative, sustainable and scalable approaches for advancing the SDGs in an integrated manner (addressing interlinkages among multiple goals and targets) while also reaching vulnerable groups.

Prospective partners are expected to have demonstrable successes in sustainability work, and interest in being engaged at community level throughout Ukraine. Government-controlled areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions will be among our priorities.

Partners will be invited to provide mentorship in designing and piloting the Incubator. Together we will seek bringing on board additional talent and treasure.

In return, we will promote the partners’ leadership on sustainability and international development in Ukraine, and jointly explore ways to expand the partners’ global impact. We will send a more detailed description of the proposed partnership to shortlisted organizations.
